(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — Diamonds Do Good announced that its panel discussion originally scheduled for the 2020 AGS Conclave will become a webinar on May 20, 2020, at 11 a.m. EDT.

Natural diamonds do a lot of good on their journey from mine to finger.

The webinar will show from the mine to showcase, how natural diamonds create jobs and empower communities. This webinar will help tell the natural diamond story and communicate these positives to consumers, using the ethical narrative to shine a spotlight on the good that comes from natural diamonds, and inspiring consumers to be part of the ethical relationship between natural diamonds and the communities, governments, businesses, and employees they benefit.

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson

When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren. For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. "Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful." The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing." Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
